Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

[FamicomGorby]

You know what's funny? Some people complained about Resident Evil 5 being able to kill African zombies. In a game set in Africa for a level.

I think most people's problem was that part of RE5 where you go to an african village and they literally wear grass skirts and throw spears.

How much you want to bet they turn on each other? Or get gunned down in a blaze of glory?

If I had to guess they will have shady glowies again (One thing V did decent enough) and some cartel or some shit. I know the recent games take place in a different continuity than the ones in the 2000s but I hope some form of the Vercetti Mob shows up in some capacity. Obviously Tommy won't be in it though considering that the great Ray Liotta has passed. The ending will probably be a complete copy of V's endings and either one of them dies in one or the other or they both survive.

Seems true to Florida, either way.

If you can't wait till 2025, you can turn on your news in the coming months, and recap the closest thing nightly! its an election year and we in a depression ...... 2020 was a beta release!

 

[Smity Werbenjagermanjensen]

A modern version of a Red Dead city like Saint Denis would be neat.

Honestly I wish more open world games took place in New Orleans (Or just New Orleans with a different name).
Besides RDR2, the only game I can name is Mafia 3, and Mafia 3 was at best mediocre even if I thought it used it's setting well.

Every single time someone leaves a comment akin to "GOT DAM THIS HERE TRAILER HAS NIGGERS IN IT!!" this is the meme I think about:

 

[Chicken Gendies]

No way would you see that many black people at the beach. Lars taught me that black people are afraid of water.

 

[Philly Phunk Machine]

With everyone bitching about niggers niggering around, this is supposed to be a satire of America. The teaser showed only things happening in America every summer.
Expect troons galore and DeSantis and Drumpf stand-ins.

That's the issue though. Three of the Four OG devs who created all the memorable aspects of the franchise no longer work for the company, and as a result Rockstar is becoming just another run-of-the-mill AAA publisher. There's nothing that suggests any of the mockery will be done with any of the nuance or subtlety of previous entries.

 

[The Last Stand]

Two things I spotted with the trailer:

A long bridge connecting to one island (maybe the Florida Keys) and the Weazel News report about dirt bikes terrorizing the city. The latter, I hope it's random events and not just a mission.

Another thing: about the twerking lady, would that be a feature in GTA Online 2? If so, how much would it cost?

 

[Markorian]

Is this all pre-rendered? Other GTA trailers were all in-engine, weren't they?

I don't have a problem with a female protagonist if it's written well. The trailer was only brief, but she didn't seem annoying. A Bonnie and Clyde story in the GTA universe would be a lot of fun, and just about the best way to have a female protag in GTA without it feeling forced.

The main bad thing I took away from the trailer is the 2025 release (meaning the PC release will be in 2026). You'd think Rockstar would figure out how to release to PC at the same time by now.

Your issue is in thinking the delayed pc release is a bug and not a feature. They know damn well at least 20 million people will buy this on ps5 when it launches, only to buy it again on pc, when they would have just bought a pc version and be done with it if they launched simultaneously.

Hope they add a twerking minigame.

Rockstar doesn't really release their games on PC at launch. There is some strategic thinking to this that may involve getting more then one game sale potentially on first a console then later on when its out for Windows.

Backroom deals with manufacturers may also be on the table because they definitely do have the chance to make their fair share of money when a big game for the Grand Theft Auto series comes out. Although it's more then a decade ago now, Microsoft paid $75 million to Take-Two Inactive to stop GTA IV PS3 exclusivity from happening so one can only imagine what the negiotiations could be like now.

preview video is up, unlocks in 15 hours

I can't edit a featured comment and skimmed 10 pages of ppl moaning about niggers so adding this extra context here:


rockstar cried like a teenager because someone leaked their trailer (link, archive)

i guess they released it early because whoever leaked it was a crypto retard and watermarked "$BUYBTC" on it

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

Since everyone here seems to think this trailer is shit because 'it didn't show anything off' I linked the first trailer for all the other 3D GTA games.

I feel like a LOT of people are showing their age when they complain that this trailer didn't show anything story related.

No fucking shit, it's a "trailer 1". This has been Rockstars "thing" for over 20 years.

 

[The Last Stand]

Do also remember that GTA VI will be $70. And the online won't release for until a month after.

Hope they add a twerking minigame.

I'm thinking they would sell that animation in their online. No way they'd express those vehicle ped animations and NOT monetize it.

30 fps at launch.

 

[RotPockets]

Red Dead Redemption 2 was an allegory.
Rockstar died with Arthur Morgan.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

but I hope some form of the Vercetti Mob shows up in some capacity.

I assume it's going to be like Grove Street in GTA V

Some vague mention of a Liberty City mobster who caused havok and took over for some time in the 80's, at best. Maybe you'll see someone wearing the blue Hawaiian shirt during a mission/cutscene.

 

[The Last Stand]

Yet they still found a way to include twerking on an automobile. I wonder how does Strauss Zelnick feel about the promotional trailer, just watching a recap of 2020?

Did our stock price go up? Yeah? Great!"
